Most wanted it to end with Aragorn being crowned, the crowd then bowing to the

The almost detached way that Eastern Promises plays out can be pretty hard to

The folks behind the American version made it a point to end it differently. I
read that much in another of my groups. Strangely, thinking on it now, no one
there has commented a word about the end of it, good or bad. Makes me wonder if

Bosco, your last is a sentiment I can easily get behind. And the really scary
thing in this is that RDM did such fantastic work on DS9. Maybe that was his
zenith, and we're sitting witness to his nadir.
